I'm currently trying to make a program in which you enter a link into an HTML form and when you click a button it sends you to that link. However, when I click the button the page just clears the form. I'm a Python native and a newbie to HTML/JS so the way I'm structuring my code may be why:
<form>
<input type="url" id="link" placeholder="Enter link of website:" required>
<br>
<button class="outline" id="open">Create gate</button>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("open").onclick = () =>
location.assign(String(document.getElementById("link").value));
</script> </form>
